I read 20x faster than hearing the text spoken, at least.

I was tested.

When we were in school in the 1960’s (a Catholic boys school in Asia), they were big on speed reading, as it was a hot thing at the time. The general outcome of speed reading training is mixed. A few do get a huge boost from this, and I was one of those few. I was the fastest reader in school, by far, after a few months.

And that has stuck with me.

Reading speed (holding tested retention constant) legitimately varies among individuals.

Well of course you do. And of course you were. 'Cause you're freaking brilliant! And I, like, totally believe you.

Ditto I was taught and tested in the one room school I attended in Vermont.

This was just before Vermont was taken over by the hippies.

Yeah, you’re right. I had forgotten that until now.

And thanks for the cool trip down memory lane, too, just thinking about that and where I was and how life was then.

That was fun. Thanks!

That means you’d be reading at 2200-3000 words per minute.

No.
